There is much more that goes into the planning a corporate event because it is not like a family event or a birthday party for a friend. It is a professional event, and people from different walks of life will be present there. There are several event management companies which can be consulted to plan corporate events in Dubai but if you are making a shift from general event planning to corporate events this guide is for you. The following some points will give an idea of what should you think while planning a corporate event. Know Your AudienceAfter all, it is all about the people who will be the guests for the event. The first thing to know is that every corporate event has a purpose whether it is a conference, launching of a product or an annual gathering of a business people. Also, know what kind of people will be attending and what age groups. Whether there will be people who need special assistance, what type of assistance will be required. This information will help you decide the kind of things you need to arrange. Almost everything is dependent on the type of attendants so knowing them is essential to the event planning. Plan Early But Do Have A Backup PlanThere are a lot of elements which needs planning ahead such as venue, catering, hotel booking, transportation, potential date of the event. Companies involved in corporate events in Dubai, have the ability to help you in better planning of the event because they have the expertise. Meeting with respective people, let them know what kind of services you are expecting, let attendants know beforehand so that they can book the date in their busy schedule. Send the invites to the potential guests at least 3-6 months in advance and also ask for an RSVP. Having RSVP will give you an idea about the approximate number of guests who will be the part of the event. Check the logistics! Do not leave anything to the last minute. Have a backup plan for everything. You might think that your planning is robust, but you never know what will happen at the last minute. For example, what if there is an emergency to the person who committed to cater your event and he could not make up at the end? Would you sit and panic thinking about the embarrassment you have to go through in front of your guest or would you start to implement the plan B you have laid out earlier. While planning an event always ask what if this thing does not work out the way I want it to at the last moment? “Always have a backup plan to the backup plan.”— Gillian Flynn Stick To Your BudgetPlan your budget, estimates your costs and then stick to it like glue. The expense of a corporate event will go on and on, but if you know your limit, then you can play safe. Do not overspend just to impress the guests. Give the best possible shot in your defined budget. Plan budget for each element ahead and keep some extra budget for unforeseen issues which were not planned. Use your budget smartly such as reserve the venue at the earliest and you might get a discount. Some hotels or the venue place offer up to 15% discount when you book them 6month ahead.
